(Orange, MA) — Aviation officials are looking into what caused a light plane to skid off the runway at Orange Municipal Airport Friday night. Orange fire officials say the pilot and passenger escaped injury after the four-seater Mooney aircraft skidded off the runway and landed on the fuselage. The pilot told airport officials the plane’s landing gear did not deploy when landing, causing the skid.
